In First Grade, we don't just want to show our answer when it comes to Math, we want our strategies to shine! As we approach separating and combining stories, we are looking to use our First Grade skills and solve our stories with atleast two strategies. Students are using sums that add up to greater or lesser amounts 5+5= 10 to solve 5+4=9 (one less). Students are also using tally marks and drawings. We explain our thinking in writing, pictures and words! Challenge your student at home, not just to write the answer, but explain their work. Ask them ,"What is your strategy?"
